My Little Pony - 1992 Edition

Here’s the story behind this one from Baron’s DA account:
 
This is final drawing from my last Picarto stream. There had been a couple of suggestions for Reaperbloom, and there had also been some requests for the Headless Horse. Well it just happens that in my Equestria dreamscape Applebloom with the help of her servant has picked up some new abilities and tricks. She even showed some of them off at the Ponyville Talent Show in a very recent dream.
 
Applebloom took a deep breath. Then she slowly strolled out on to the stage her signature red bow flapping slightly as she walked. There was a murmur from the audience as they tried to decide what exactly her performance was going to be. Applebloom’s family was seated in the front row of the outdoor theater. She didn’t have any musical instrument or stage costume. Stopping near the edge of the stage she addressed the audience gathered.
 
“Good evening! Tanight I will show ya some magic that very few ponies have ever seen! Behold!”
 
Suddenly the filly’s shadow leaped and engulfed her body up the neck, then it transformed into a suit a black plate armor that glistened like obsidian. There was a general murmuring from the crowd. Earth ponies were by their nature normally didn’t perform magic like this, but there many rumors, stories, and tales surrounding Applejack younger sister now.
 
The buttercream yellow filly proceeded to do a set of her practice katas in the plate. The armor softly hissed, sighed, and moaned slightly as she vaulted, leaped, rolled, and tumbled around the stage. The audience started stomping their hooves in a approval. The filly looked out at the ponies gathered.
 
“That ain’t nothing! How about this!” Suddenly great, black, glistening bat wings erupted from the armor as Applebloom launched herself into the night sky. The crowd became more vocal as she swooped, rolled, and flew above them. She came to a hover above them. “Now let me introduce y’all ta assistant!”
 
The filly held her front hooves out at chest level; a blue violet orb started forming between the hooves. Suddenly a gigantic black scythe burst into existence. The filly grabbed it with her front hooves, as she did a great cat slit eye of malachite green snapped up on the scythe and the blade erupted with violet flame. Flying higher above audience now the filly began a set of aerial katas with scythe. This performance earned the filly various sounds of surprises and appreciation.
 
Finishing her set the filly swoop over the stage and came to a hover about 10ft above it. Suddenly her voice boomed. As she did her best impression of the Royal Canterlot voice.
 
“AND NOW FER MY FINAL TRICK!”
 
In one swift stroke the edge of the scythe swung and took her head clean off. The filly’s head sailed up into the nighttime sky. Then it fell back to earth. The filly’s body reached out and grabbed it’s head with its right front hoof. Then it tucked it under it’s front right leg.
 
“TAADAAA!” Yelled the filly with a big happy grin on her face.
 
Several ponies swore Big Mac fainted although he denies that. Applejack who’d been taking a swig of cider sprayed it all over the place. Granny Smith just shook her head, and Miss Cheerilee stared dumbfounded while Stone Mane laughed.
 
And after that evening Applebloom was banned from ever competing again in any future Ponyville Talent Shows.
 
I love how blase’ Granny Smith was about Bloom’s little act. I guess at her age she’s seen everything.

This is precisely too much awesome in one picture. The armor reminds me of Berserk. The scythe reminds me of Soul Calibur. Of course the headless thing is Dulahan. And AB is always a favorite of mine. Baron, good sir, you’ve outdone yourself.
